Oh my gods! I'm not dead! Sorry for not updating. I had no access to a computer for a week *shudder* ! So i've been working hard on making more paragraphs, and I still have a long way to go, but it's something. Oh, and i was a bit disappointed when i checked for reviews. I didn't have so many. I expect to get at least two reviews (and I'm being nice) in between chapters. I did get plenty of favorites though. This chapter is longish. And I'm not repeating either! So thanks, and keep reviewing.

Chapter 13

Sadie's POV

Oh, when that greek helped me out, I just wanted to kill him! But he had saved our lives, so I decided to wait until he wasn't useful anymore. But I was still mad. So you can imagine I had Hades fun watching his face as we went into the Duat.

"You okay? I wouldn't want to get you uncomfortable!" I regretted saying this. We got dizzy in the Duat too. Percy glared, but kept his mouth shut. Smart boy. We ran. Since Walt is part god, he knew the way. We jumped out after a few minutes. Percy threw up. Gross. I looked around. We were in front of a very tall building. Percy composed himself. "Stay close, and the gods might not kill you." He coughed. Well, thanks for that, bloody greek! Percy seemed to brace himself as we stepped inside. Thunder echoed. "Okay. I think they'll hear you out." He whispered. As soon as the guy at the counter saw Percy he groaned and took out a keycard. "Gods! Were you responsible for that lighting up front? Zeus zapped two kids!" He said. I gasped. "He was with Annabeth. The gods wouldn't- would they?" Percy muttered. He grabbed the keycard and led us to an elevator. "Hey! Zeus won't like it if you bring those two up!" The bloke yelled. "Sorry. We got to go." Walt said in his scary death god voice. He let us go. Percy was grinning when we got on. His face said: Payback time! I gulped. He inserted the keycard and a button appeared. It was 600. "Hold on. I wouldn't want you to get uncomfortable." He chuckled and pressed it. We zoomed up.

Carter's POV

I am an idiot (shut up, Sadie. I'm serious.). I had already fought Percy, and I had lost, bad. His girlfriends was just as good as he was, no. She was better. And I was not. I had been wrong when I thought she couldn't do much with a dagger. She was deadly. At first, I played fair, and just used my sword, but I finally gave up. Sure, I was better with Horus on my side, but he kept nagging in my head. Hit her hard! Duck! Move! You idiot! MOVE! He'd scream. I was finally sick of it. "Ha-wi!" I shouted. An invisible fist punched Annabeth back. But she didn't give up. She fought harder. I had to stop this. "Tas!" I hissed. Twine wrapped around her. "Wait! We have to stop fighting! Like you said, this is what they want! Don't you get it? We're both the brains! No one else really thinks things through, right? It's annoying! Now we have someone else that can think things through!" I exclaimed. She narrowed her eyes. "Get me out of this thing, and I promise I won't kill you." She sighed. I cut the twine.

Percy's POV

I'll admit I was kind of scared. How would the gods react? I didn't know. But I had to save Annabeth. That Carter guy looked important to those two, but he wasn't my first priority. Walt seemed to read my mind. Could egyptian gods do that? "Carter isn't just important to us. His pharaoh. If he dies, we're all screwed." He explained. Sadie stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were a mix of emotion. They looked confident, but scared. And, of course, there was that twinge of annoyance. As always. "I can't go in there. If I do, they could just vaporize me on the spot. Then it would all be over." She whispered. Whoa. Way to emotional for Sadie. But she recovered. She took something from her pocket. Walt's eyes widened. I recognized it too. It was an amulet. It was the one that- "Whoa! You aren't going to wear that, are you?" I asked. She smirked. "Of course I am. You're part god, aren't you? And Walt is hosting one. I can't be the only weakling here." With that, she shoved the amulet on. For a second she was stunned, then her face turned annoyed. "Oh, shut up!" She moaned. I looked at her. "If you host a god, they talk to you… in your head." Walt told me. I grimaced. I'd rather be a demigod. That's when they actually saw Olympus.

Sadie's POV

Oh my bloody gods of Egypt! Olympus was big! And Isis was annoying! Percy led us to the biggest building. "Who designed this place?" Walt asked. But his voice sounded like Anubis's. "Annabeth. She's into architecture." Percy shrugged as my jaw dropped. "You're girlfriend designed this place?" He simply nodded. I closed my mouth. But my jaw dropped again when we entered the building.

It was one big room. Wait let me make it clear. It was one huge, enormous, big, large and all the other synonyms for that room. Ya. That explains it better. I peeked into the Duat and saw that even Anubis looked shocked. But that wasn't all. (Carter! I do not sound like I'm selling something on TV! Shut up! I was trying to save you!) Ahem. But that wasn't all. There were thrones. I counted about twelve. Some of them were occupied. By giants. I took a wild guess that these were the gods. Right in front of us, there was a god with something that looked like a lightning bolt in his hand. Next to him, there was a guy with a trident. I gulped. They didn't look happy. I looked around. They were the only gods (Carter corrects me that they were the only giant greek gods, because Walt and I were kind of gods too) in the room. Percy bowed. Walt and I stayed still. I felt and urge to bow too, so they wouldn't blast me, but Isis wouldn't allow it. Bloody pride. "Lord Zeus. Father." Percy addressed them. Something hit me. The guy with the trident was Percy's dad. And from what I had kind of understood from Carter's lessons, Zeus was god of the gods. Wonderful. But the second Percy's dad saw him, he seemed to relax. "Son." He sighed. Zeus ignored Percy and glared at us. "Gods? You bring egyptian gods here?" He growled. So Zeus had anger problems. That might hold us back a bit. "Not exactly. I'm Sadie Kane. I'm hosting Isis, but I'm not her. She wishes I was her." I struggled to explain. Walt sighed. "We are still ourselves. Sadie Kane and Walt Stone. But egyptian gods are… hitching a ride? I don't know. I'm hosting Anubis, god of funerals. Sadie is hosting Isis, goddess of magic. We are magicians." Walt said. I guess he explained a bit better than I did. Zeus didn't relax. "Oh, yes! Magicians are much better!" He roared. Percy gulped. "The last time Zeus used sarcasm was… well never. He's really mad." Percy whispered. Perfect. We got a god with a lightning bolt in his hand mad. But I was desperate. "Please, er- Lord Zeus. I need to get to my brother. Can't you tell us where he is?" I pleaded. I held back a wince. So much for my reputation. He didn't answer. I turned to Percy's dad. "We brought Percy back, didn't we? Can't you do us one favor?" I asked. I noticed Percy shaking his head in warning too late. "You kidnapped him! You took him to your grounds and I had no idea what was happening! Besides, you have taken your brother back already. You did something. He disappeared." I was about to object that Percy had kidnapped us too, when there was a poof to my side. Another throne was occupied. It was a lady with a really long neck. Percy grimaced and bowed. "Athena." He said. I remembered him talking to his girlfriend about her mother not really accepting him. I guessed that this was her. "He disappeared along with my daughter! What have you done to her?" She asked. Whoa. Too many gods yelling at me. If I weren't Sadie Kane, I would probably run for it. But I took a deep breath. "I don't know what you're talking about. We came here, looking for my brother. He's pharaoh. If anything happens to him, Egypt could collapse. Magicians and gods would go to war again. Who knows? Set might even try to take over the world again." I said. Athena glared at me long and hard, but she relaxed a teeny bit. "She is telling the truth. She truly does not know where my daughter is, or her brother for that matter." I relaxed a little too. At least I had one goddess on my side. "Impossible! Who could have done this?" Percy's dad yelled. I raised a finger. "I have a hunch."

Oh! the suspense! What does Sadie have on her mind? Will Carter and Annabeth get out? Who knows? I do! Hahaha!

I have a question for you all. Can someone explain to me about Betas? I don't understand them, and everyone is always talking about them. Thanks!
